Ritz Azul: no boyfriend
since birth
The Promise of Forever lead
actress Ritz Azul is not ashamed
to admit that she hasn’t been in
any romantic relationship since
birth.
Azul made this confession
during the press conference of her
upcoming series with leading men
Paulo Avelino and Ejay Falcon.
“Hindi naman mataas ang
standards ko. Gusto ko lang
‘yung genuine, may respect,
God-fearing, more on sa loob.
Hindi ako masyado tumitingin sa
physical,” Azul explained when
asked what she is looking for in
a guy.
Azul also shared what she
expects from a relationship
considering that she has never
had a boyfriend.
“Para sa akin, it’s a
responsibility. Kapag pinasok mo
na ‘yun, kapag nandoon ka na sa
phase na iyon, doon na halos iikot
ang buhay mo. Para sa akin, iisa
na kayo,” she said.
“Hindi kasi ako familiar
sa boyfriend and girlfriend
relationship. Mas na-open ‘yung
mind ko sa kung ano ‘yung tinuturo
ng papa ko sa akin. Hayaan mo
siyang manligaw kung gusto niya
talaga. Tignan natin kung genuine
siya sayo. Kasi kapag dumating
yung tamang panahon, ‘yun na,”
she added.
Azul, however, clarified that
she has had suitors.
“May nanliligaw pero walang
boyfriend-girlfriend. Sinasabi ko
hindi pa ako ready. Pero nagiging
friends naman. Siguro naniniwala
ako sa forever kasi,” she said.
Meanwhile,
the
actress
admitted that having had no
boyfriend since birth initially
became a problem for her in
portraying her role in “The
Promise of Forever.”
“Actually noong una, nag-
adjust ako kasi intimidated ako sa
kanila (Paulo and Ejay) parehas.
Pero nag-adjust din sila sa akin
dahil inalalayan nila ako. Alam
nilang medyo hirap ako minsan sa
pakilig kasi hindi pa ako nagkaka-
boyfriend. Nagpatulong ako sa
kanilang dalawa and in fairness,
tinulungan nila ako,” she said.
Since she is a new Kapamilya
artist, Azul said she appreciates
how Avelino and Falcon exerted
efforts in making her feel at ease.
Produced by the ABS-CBN
entertainment unit Dreamscape,
The Promise of Forever will start
airing on September 11. ●

Ronnie Alonte :
I don’t have a love life
Despite the persistent rumor,
actor and Hashtag member
Ronnie Alonte denies involvement
with fellow Kapamilya contract
artist Loisa Andalio.
“I don’t have a love life, and
I’m happy with that. Loisa and I
are just friends—she is close to
my sister. I’m not courting her.
“I’m friends with everyone—
with Sue (Ramirez) and Julia
(Barretto)—because I’m paired
with them in several projects.
I’m already used to people support my family. I don’t want
romantically linking me with my to give them (family members)
love team partners. But really, unnecessary stress.” ●
my priority is to work so I can
